Rama.
[gloomy music playing]
Rama, you must be tired.
- Please rest for a while. - No, Lakshmana.
When one of the eyes is shedding tears,
the other one can't rest.
My Sita must be in pain.
[pensive music playing]
I can't rest.
We must meet Mother Shabari.
Lakshmana, let's go.

Vibhishana, why are you silent?
Won't you tell me what decision of mine
was against righteousness
today?
Ravana,
to be honest,
your action as well as
the reason behind it are unrighteous.
Ravana, you have everything.
Power, happiness, and prosperity.
An obedient son like Meghanada
and a devoted wife.
Stop beating around the bush!
Come to the point.
Ravana,
even if a woman belongs to the enemy camp,
she deserves respect.
Abducting a woman
is unrighteous.
It's a sin.
Ravana, you didn't just bring Devi Sita to Lanka,
you have also sown the seeds of your ruination in Ashoka Vatika.
We should never sin against a person.
Please heed my advice.
The whole rakshasa kingdom is at stake.
[sweeping music playing]
Ravana, please return Shri Rama's Sita to him!
[intriguing music plays]
Do all of you agree with him?
I pity all of you.
How could rakshasas be
so narrow-minded?
Vibhishana, you spent the maximum time with me
but still, you failed to understand me.
None of the rakshasas present in this gathering
can fathom my far-sightedness.
All of you are concerned if my action
was righteous or unrighteous but don't forget
that my actions
are goal-oriented.
My goal is
"all of us are rakshasas!"
I want to make the rakshasa clan the leading community.
Sita isn't an ordinary woman!
She is King Janaka's daughter.
She is a human.
We rule 14 lokas!
Devas, asuras,
rakshasas, yaksha,
gandharvas, kinnaras, animals, birds,
nagas, insects,
ghosts, pishachas, and vetalas!
We rule all of them!
Only humans
are the ones we don't rule yet.
Bringing Sita here
and doing 'Raksha vivaha' with her
is to help build a bridge
between rakshasas and humans
after Sita is married to me!
On the one hand,
I'll avenge on behalf of Shurpanakha
and on the other hand,
I'll establish my control over humans
without bloodshed!
Now tell me! Is it unrighteous to save thousands of lives?
Is it a sin
to try to make our tradition
the supreme power?
Am I immoral and a sinner?
Not at all, Ravana.
My brother did this
for Lanka!
Rama and Lakshmana attacked my dignity
and disrespected us!
Sita deserves
this punishment!
- Yes! Lankesh did the right thing! - Yes! Lankesh did the right thing!
[dramatic music playing]
Don't be scared.
I, Trijata, didn't come here to kill you.
I came here to see
the unique creation of God.
You rejected the proposal of Lankesh
who is desired by the beauties
of the three lokas!
How could a delicate woman like you
be so brave?
Let me tell you
my heart's desire now!
I'm a cannibal!
You must pray
that Lankesh accepts you!
Or else, I'll devour you!
Shri Rama.
You must take the name
of the God to Whom the temple belongs
to fulfil your wish, idiot!
Lanka's God
is only Dashanan.
Only he can save you.
So forget Rama's name
and start chanting Ravana's name!
[Trijata chortling]
The next time,
know about my goal
before questioning my righteousness.
Or else,
I'll be compelled to forget that you are my brother.
[dramatic music playing]
Dashanan, please be mindful of one thing!
She is a devout woman!
The power of her curse
could ruin the asura kingdom.
[suspenseful music playing]
On top of that, she belongs to a clan
from which you aren't safe.
So please rethink
before doing anything.
I'm thinking
and witnessing too!
You are concerned about an unknown woman!
Isn't my sister also a woman?
When Rama disrespected her,
why didn't he think
that he could be ruined?
Why didn't you curse Rama and Lakshmana
when they chopped off my sister's nose?
He killed
my invincible brothers
Khara and Dushan along with other relatives.
Why were you silent then?
Rama didn't attack
Ravana's sister
but the honour of rakshasas!
They must be punished
for their misdeeds!
[thunder rumbling]
This incident
will act like a lesson for the entire world!
If Ravana's pride
and Lanka's honour are at stake,
it would result in vengeance!
"Ravana!"
[joyful music playing]
Rama.
[devotional song playing]
[song continues playing]
Rama.
[devotional music playing]
Rama.
Rama will come.
[dramatic music playing]
Lakshmana!
Lakshmana.
[dramatic music playing]
[melancholic music playing]
[devotional music playing]
Gosh!
I spread these flowers for my Rama.
Who is this forest dweller?
Why have you scattered flowers on the pathway?
She has gone insane.
She has been waiting for Rama
for years and has now turned old.
She decorates the porch every day, spreads flowers,
and murmurs Rama's name.
Old lady, nobody will come here.
Please remember your God and attain liberation.
My Rama will come.
Just wait and watch.
Rama.
My Rama will come.
[devotional music playing]
Goddess, the real joy of love
is in waiting.
Look.
Devi Shabari is waiting eagerly for Shri Rama.
The truth is that
it's the most important moment of Shri Rama's story.
But, Mahadeva,
innumerable people love Shri Rama.
Then why is Shabari so important in his journey?
We meet two kinds of people in our life.
The first kind of people
meet us during our life's journey
and the second kind of people
give a direction to our life's journey.
Devi Shabari
belongs to the second category.
On the one hand, Shri Rama's life
is a journey full of bravery,
patience, and the victory of faith.
On the other hand,
Devi Shabari is the symbol of such a journey.
Her patience, devotion,
and devoutness have turned her into a flower
which will keep Shri Rama's story
fragrant till eternity.
Goddess,
the truth is
even if one of Devi Shabari's virtues
is imbibed by a human,
they'll be blessed for a lifetime.
Wonderful.
Mahadeva is heaping praises on Shabari.
So I'm eager to know more about Shabari.
Sure, Goddess.
Shabari was the only daughter
of the chief of the Bhil tribe,
Lakhuta Bhil.
She was naive and pure.
She didn't want physical pleasures
but inner peace.
Her parents fixed Shabari's alliance
at a young age.
However, Shabari
was devout and attracted to asceticism.
She refused to be tied down by marital duties.
'Shabari abandoned her family'
'and reached the Pampa lakeside.'
[dramatic music playing]
'She met the great ascetic Matanga luckily.'
'Shabari sought his guidance.'
'Matanga's disciples and supporters'
'turned against Shabari owing to her low status.'
'However, Matanga Muni sensed her pure intentions'
'and accepted Shabari as his disciple.'
[dramatic music playing]
'Matanga Muni's guidance'
'helped Shabari gain spiritual knowledge.'
'However, every human leaves after their duty is over.'
'It was time for Matanga Muni's departure.'
'Shabari, it's time'
'for my mortal body to leave this world.'
'Lord Indra is here'
'to take me to Brahmaloka.'
'I'm happy with your service and devoutness.'
'I want to give you the ultimate knowledge'
'and take you to Brahmaloka with me.'
'Acharya, '
'I'm gratified that you found me'
'worthy of this.'
'However, I regret to say'
'that I can't accept your proposal.'
'What's the reason for rejecting your guru's gift?'
'Acharya, I was lucky'
'to get your blessings'
'but many female forest dwellers like me'
'don't get a chance to gain knowledge'
'or a medium to gain it.'
'I want to do something for them.'
'If liberation or deliverance is the medium of knowledge, '
'please show me the path of knowledge'
'which helps a person attain liberation'
'despite their caste or the level of knowledge they have.'
'Acharya, please guide me'
'for the last time today.'
'Devotion is the best path'
'to attain liberation and be one with God.'
'Please build a hut at Pampa lakeside.'
'When Narayana takes a human avatar'
'by Rama's name, '
'he'll search for you'
'and reach your hut, Shabari.'
'Since that day, Shabari has been waiting patiently'
'for her Shri Rama daily.'
